FROr 4 BOISE CITY

Boise City, Idaho, Jan. 16, 1887.
FRIEND LELAND:
1t is perhaps presumed that there is
much going On in this center of politics
and law that j of interest to the people
Of the territory. In the supreme court
t he first week of the term has been ex-
hausted in waiting for attorneys to ct
ready. To an outsider the legal pro-
fession seems to be the most negligent of
all men. The amount of money taken
from the public treasury by their careless
delays, would give all of them better
living than Ina i Of them now get The
legislature has done some good work and
perhaps the bcst things that they done
is the doing nothing on many matters
brought before them. The new revision
of our laws have been adopted and was
approved by the Governor on the
eleventh Of this month. l am Informed
that it will 60 into effect on the first day
of JuLc next. There is much talk about
reducing the fees of county officers.
This is, however, by separate bills. The
revision committee simply codifed the
laws as they found them and sug rested
only such changes as seemed necessary
for harmony and clcarness. l think as
yet no law affecting salaries and fees of
public officers has been enacted. The
members of the legislature from the
North compare favorably with those
from other portions of the territory.
Those from Nez Perez county are active
and careful and watch with intelligent
zeal the interests Of their constituents.
The anti-annexation memorial passed
both houses BY a less majority than was
anticipated. In the Council, two South.
ern members, Mcssrs. Smith, and if I
remember tightly, Hughes voting
against it. There is more of a sentlmen,
in Southern Idaho in favor of uniting
South Idaho and Nevada than many
suppose. The matter is quietly cauvased
by many living outside of Boise City
and before great while this sentiment
will be heard from.
Respectfully Yours,
| JOHN SMITH.

this board that he has worked faithfully
for the best interest of this inland coun
try, and we believe that his removal was
caused for other reasons than those emu
merated in Col. Parker's report, and il
the interests Of those opposed TO tht
opening Of the Columbia river to freq
navigation. That this board respectfully
request the secretary Of war to reinstatt
Major Jones in charge Of said works a
the Cascades.
